Damn. Bain is getting hammered. Down 7-3 but still within striking distance. Need to win at least 2 in Birmingham.

Rubber match tomorrow, UAB wins game two 8 to 4.

After trailing UAB 2-0 after 5 innings the Monarchs scored 2 to tie the game in the 6th, and 4 more in the 7th.

M7 ODU 6 - UAB 2

Final ODU 8 - UAB 3

Monarchs win the series. ODU has only lost 1 series all season thus far.

GO MONARCHS!!!

Took the series 2-1. Did what we had to do.
And we won today without John Wilson who left last week's game early. I thought it was heat exhaustion. Not sure what's wrong.
The problem is that we have two games this week and used a bunch of pitchers today. This doesn't set up well for us this week.
We may need to out-hit them.

I wish that was the case for football and basketball as well.

Good news for the baseball team. Exciting stuff. Not a huge baseball guy, but glad to hear the team is trending up. Maybe it's time I go catch a game....

Awesome news. It has felt like the program was ready to break through for the last couple season. Happy to see them putting it together.

Lost to 14-30 Richmond yesterday, can't afford many bad losses like that if we end up on the NCAA baseball bubble. Good chance to grab a nice win today at VCU.

Yep. RPI slipped to 44 with the loss to the Spiders.

Another effin program that can't stand success. Spit the bit as soon as they get into top 25. I, for one, am tired of it. I'm sure many of you are, too. It's time to clean house, Broderick, get rid of them all, drop the program to DIII, save money, get out of CUSA. Va Wesleyan would love to have us as a natural rival. ODU athletics is a failed experiment.

I'm hoping your tongue was planted firmly in your cheek while typing this. If so, please indicate the sarcasm next time.

Mostly sarcasm.

Fun fact, a pretty common way to infer sarcasm online is with a /s at the end. So, with your post:

I at least assume that's the part that was meant to be sarcastic.

Thank you, 09. I did not know that.
